Great beginner retinol. Used it 3x a week in Joburg’s dry winter and layered with a moisturiser — no flaking, just refined texture.

Noticeable improvement on my forehead lines in Durban. I still use it every second night and wear SPF daily.

Gentle, effective and easy to slot into my routine. Courier delivery was quick and the tube lasts longer than expected.
